YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs the Pope proexorcism? Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger) and Amberia Allen, the hosts of The Young Turks, have the answer. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Pope Francis asked priests to consider tapping an exorcist, if it were absolutely necessary. The pope told confessors to call upon exorcists to assist those that could be experiencing "real spiritual disorders," the AFP reported Friday.
During a Vatican seminar Friday, the pope advised priests on how to lead confessions. He said that they "must not hesitate to refer to exorcists … chosen with great care and prudence."
The pope’s encouragement of the age-old practice might shock some. Exorcism practices receive mixed reviews in the Catholic Church. The Vatican urged priests to properly differentiate between mental illness and demonic possession in a new rule established in 1999, which called for priests to consult mental health care professionals when a parishioner was thought to be spiritually disturbed, the Daily Beast reported. The Vatican’s new rule was approved after almost 400 years of unchanged practices in the Church and revisions were made to the exorcism rites, BBC News reported in 1999.”
